ALBUQUERUQE (KRQE) - The weekend storm brought enough snow to help most New Mexico ski areas open.
The big winner was Ski Santa Fe, which got hammered by 16 inches of new snow. The ski area is now able to announce a limited opening on Saturday.

Coming in a close second was Angel Fire and Sipapu, which both received 14 inches of new snow. While Angel Fire has been busy making snow and was already planning to open on Friday, the added snow will help conditions.
Resort officials say before the storm they were talking about allowing mountain biking on some trails because of a lack of snow in some areas. That is not the case anymore.
Sipapu is already open and bustling.
Things are also looking up at Taos Ski Valley. It received about 13 inches of fresh snow, but with the colder temperatures snowmaking is also at its peak.
Representatives from the ski area say the snow making is now happening 24 hours a day.
Ski areas farther south were not as fortunate. Ski Apache above Ruidoso only got 3 inches of new snow,
Pajarito only added 1 inch, and the Sandia Ski area reported nothing measurable. All three areas have pushed back their openings again.
